36 students from Zambian stranded in India for not paying school fees

According to Zambia's high commissioner to
India, Judith Kapijimpanga 36 Zambian students are currently stranded in India after failing
to get clearance from their universities to return.
Most of them were stranded because their parents had failed to pay
their university fees, while others had failed examinations but were too
scared to tell their parents, she added.

Some students had also committed crimes, such as taking drugs but the
Zambian government plans to engage with India's foreign ministry to get
the students back home, she said.
